Work for Our Legislative Solons

A great deal of interest naturally
centers in the work which will be re-
ouired at the hands of the coming
legislature, touching the question OF
taxation and its adjustment SO that
every interest and industry shall bear
it's legitimate proportion. Property
all over the state should be assessed
at it's actual cash value. This would
not necessitate heavier taxes because
the per cent of levy could be reduc-
ed to correspond with the increased
valuation A method should be de-
vised whereby the vast sum invested
in mortgage securities and in tax ii
ties should bear their proportionate
share of tax burdens. 1t is well
known fact that the moneys thus in
vested now largely escape taxation.
This evil has been largelyeobviated
in Massachusetts, by the following
wise and judicious law pertaining
thereto:
Sec.14, Chap. II. When any per-
son has an interest in taxable real es-
estate as holder oil duly recorded
mortgage given to secure the pay
ment of money, the amount of which
is fixed and certain, the amount of his
interest as MORTGAGE shall be assess
ed in the place where the land lies;
and the mortgagor shall be assessed
only for the value af all such mort
gagor's interest therein.
Sec. Is. If any holder Of such
mortgage fails to file in the assessors
Office q statement under oath OF all
his estate liable to taxation under the
preceding section, including q state
nent Of the full amount remaining
unpaid upon the mortgage, and Of
his interest therein, the amount
stated in the mortgage shall be con-
elusive as to the extent of such inter-
est but the mortgagee's interests in
such real estate shall not be assessed
at a greater sum than the fair cash
valuation of the land with the struct-
ures thereon or affixed thereto.
Thousands and thousands of farms
in Iowa are mortgaged for fully two
.hair actual value, the mort
'ii'ius :. IN the land the
gagor paying taxes -,or II
same as though his title had Lr
no such cloud or incumbrance. And
moneys invested in tax titles should
be assessed against the person in
vesting it, the treasurer's books re-
cording the sale being made the evil
dence of the ownership Of such mon
eys and Of the amount, the tax being
lien upon the redemption money
and deducted therefrom before turn

Books are the windows through which
the soul looks out. A house without
books, is like a room without windows.
No man should bring up his children
without surrounding them with books, il
he has the means to buy them. Young
people learn great deal by being in the
presence of books. A love of knowledge
comes with reading and that in a young
mind is almost warrant against the in
ferior excitement of passion and vice.
Among the earliest ambitions to be ex-
cited in young persons is that of owning
and constantly adding to a library OF
good books.
1t is a pleasure to have books; and q
library growing larger every year is an
honorable part of young man or wo-
mans history" MATTE FOSTER.

Report of Teacher's Association.

Report of teachers association held at
Hager City, Wis. Dec. 3, 1887.
Association called to order at 10 o'clock
A. NJ. by Pres. s. I. Irvine. The secreta-
~ being absent Z. M. Niles was elected
Sec. pro tempore. g. L. Bowman was
appointed critic by the chair. Each
member of the association gave a quota
ton from an American author after
which Vice Pres w. G. Owen took the
chair and S. 7. Irvine read an essay on
Art of questioning, a lively discussion fol-
lowed. The principal point in dispute
being as to whether a teacher should use
the printed questions at the foot of the
page, found in most Of our textbooks, or
not. The majority of those who took
part in the discussion thought it was bet
ter to frame and use their own questions
instead of using the printed ones. An in
PERMISSION of ten minutes was then given
after which Supt. A. L. Engstrom, of
Goodhue Co., Mimi, gave an excellent
talk on English Grammar, commenting
upon the points: how to teach it, and the
use and abuse of it by the teachers in our
schools. He said that the teachers should
cease to do evil, then, try to do well, also
that memorizing language of the text
book did not help us any unless we put
into practice what we learn from it. AZ
ter an animated discussion of the same
the meeting adjourned until LIS P. NJ.
p. NJ. Meeting called to order. The
first topic was Geography, presented by
Supt. G. L. Bowman. In his essay he
stated that he thought it unnecessary to
hang maps upon the north wall of the
school-house in order to teach pupils cor
rect direction, a lively discussion followed,
he also gave us many other excellent
thoughts after which Prof w. L. Bee
man, of Red Wing, Mimi, gave us good
talk on the subject, Pennmanship in COM
mon schools, telling the errors in the or
| binary method of teaching, and showing
clearly how a class in writing should be
conducted. A short discussion followed,
then a rest was taken; after which C. J..
Brewer presented Arithmetic in upper
form. Showing how to conduct class in
Higher Arithmetic in a well organized
| school. His thoughts and methods were
good. A lively discussion followed. The
last on the program was a question box,
which passed of quickly, all Of tho quss-
tons being answered, after which the
Critics report was read. In his criticism
he stated that we were not as formal
probably as we should be, still he did not
want us to be too formal as it placed re-
straint upon young and bashful members
of the associations. All of his comments
were good. Meeting adjourned sine die,
and we left for our homes feeling that we
had spent pleasant and profitable day.
